Traveler reviews
Cape Town in 5 hours
Booked as part of a larger packaged tour, we were picked up by Abdoul, which ended up being just us & Abdoul. Unfortunately we hit a couple of issues - the wind stopped the Table Mtn visit, & a private function limited our fort visit. Otherwise it was very good. Minivan was comfortable. Abdoul was very knowledgeable & informative & was happy to chat about life in Cape Town. We toured around the city, Slaves Lodge museum, Bo Kaap, Market Garden, stopped Green Sq, up Signal Hill, down to Camps Bay & back through V&A area. Very good trip.
Relaxing Tour around the City

His tours are highly informative and especially valuable for those who are new to the country. Frank often sacrifices his personal time in order to maximise his clients' attention and fulfil their requests.
